Endospores in sediments germinate and produce acetate at 80°C. Could buried endospores do this in the deep, hot subseafloor biosphere? We suggest they could @AngeSherry @jayne_rat @CRJHubert Now #OpenAccess at @Environmicrobi sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.w…

Compared to childless academic men, since the start of the pandemic, women with children have lost over 500 hours of research time. Even compared to men with children they've lost 150-200 hours of research. As for single parents, I'd dread to see the data. washingtonpost.com/road-to-r…

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

Guaymas sediment samples made it to Calgary! So excited to start working on them. A big thankyou to everyone on board! @TheJR #Exp385

The volcanic activity of the Guaymas Basin makes this place special for life. For #EXP385, we came here to study the microbes that live in the deep. All kinds of life also live near the famous hydrothermal vents, as @EVNautilus experienced in 2017. @NSF_GEO

After our first sill came up, our technicians made some thin sections of it and this is what we found! 🔬Enjoy! @NSF_GEO #EXP385
